On Sunday, Piquerez and Lucas Evangelista had to be substituted still in the first half of the match against Bahia. The midfielder left with pain in his right thigh, while the left-back complained of problems in his right knee.

For now, Palmeiras has not yet officially commented on the players' condition. The athletes, starters of Abel Ferreira's team, will be reassessed by the club's Medical Department in the coming days.

Bahia won the game 1-0.

Abel Ferreira blames the pitch

After the game, coach Abel Ferreira spoke about the injuries in the press conference and blamed the state of the pitch at Arena Fonte Nova.

“It's difficult. We are not prepared for these kinds of situations, nor to play on such a field. We are talking about high-level, professional football. This should be inadmissible. Injuries occur due to the pitch conditions, because the foot gets stuck. You can see that the pitch is painted. I can't understand it,” he criticized.
